THE OLD
Absolutely T?re
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
TILLMAN DEFENDS
PANAMA POSITION.
Why lie Stauda With the Majority or
Democratic Senators In
Washington.
To the Editor of The Spartanburg
Journal:
I have just read your article in the
Journal of January 4, "Semtor Till
maa and the Canal Treaty." I recog
nize tho rightof any of my constituents
to take issue with mo and my course as
a eenator and to criticise my pubiic ut
terances and actions I also know that
the Jou-nal has always bean fair and
usual y frieutlty towards me. 1 there
fore feel that it is due myself as woll as
my constituents who agree with you to
say something in answer to the edito
rial In question.
As to "personal hostility to Pro.ddont
Roosevo't," I would not allow to petty
and ignoble a spirit as that I hope to
gover.) my action and I am surprised
that you put it as one of the excuses
moving me. In brief I went to say that
my opposition to the Panama Canal
treaty arises from the faot that in my
judgment the actions of our executive
leading up to it, and the record of the
transaction as a whole is the most con*
temp ible and disgusting, nay disgrace
ful, in all of our diplomatic annals.
I favor an isthmian canal and have
no choice of routes, rather preferring
tha Panama to any other because it is
shorter; but that a just government
like this should engage in the practice
of a sneak thief, and having obtained a
pretense for action based on secession
and then have the president utilize the
army and navy If the marines fail?and
they stand ready to act when the ma
rines fail?to coerce a weak power like
Colombia is something I cannot en
dorse or approve. There would have
been some palliation, some excuse, If
j?e had as a nation boldly declared that
Colombia was obstructing the progress
of civilization and was a bar to inter
national commerce and then taken pos
session of the isthmus under the law of
international eminent domain and pro
cecdeil to construct tho canal without
regard U> consequences. B jt the honor
of the United States is dearer to me
than any benefit that may accrue to the
United States or any part of It from the
building of such a canal and whatever
may be the opinion of democrats, "com
mercial," or otherwise about ignoring
tho principles of common honesty and
common fair play, I will never give a
vote as senator from South Carolina
endorsing this infamous po'icy, or mak
ing a treaty with one man represent
ing nothing and using that as an ex
cuse t) coerce Colombia from maintain
ing her sovereignty over the isthmus.
There Is nothing but tbe shadow of a
government In Panoma and no one can
deny that.
This may be partlzansblp but I trust
at least it is common honesty and I
hope tho people of South Carolina af
ter they understand, If they do not
already understand my a'tltude, will
commend it. I certainly know as much
about what is going on as any one In
South Carolina. Whether they do or
not I am on the ground. I have no mo
tive othar than that of discharging my
duty as senator here, and 1 shall cer
tainly do that with the light before me
without fe\r, favor or afTvotion. If it
meets the approval of my fellow, citi
zens, I shall be happy. If not I shall
be content because as senator from
South Carolina I do not wl-*h to do any
thing that will reflect on those of my
great predecessors who never forgot
the rule3 of common honesty in deal
ing with their neighbors and who
loved the honor of the republic more
than they did material advancement.
Respectfully,
B. R. Tii.i.man,
United States Senate, Washington, D.

%***t*M'?**4"*??**^
HELLVELLYN
By Sir Walter Scott
CLIMB'D the dark brow of the mighty Hellvellyn,
Lakes and mountains beneath me glenm'd misty and \*
wide;
All wnq Htill, save by Ms when the eagle was yelling,
And starting around me the echoes replied,
On the right, Strlden-cdgo round the Bed-turn was bending,*!*
And Oatchcdicam its left verge was defending,
One huge nameless roek in the front was ascending,
Whou 1 mark'd the sad spot where the wanderer had died.
Dark green was the spot mid the brown meadow heather,
Where the pilgrim of i ature lay strctch'd In decay,?
Like the corse of an out* ast abandon'd to weather,
Till the mountain-winds wasted tho tennntless clay.
Nor yet quite deserted, though lonely extended,
For faithful in death, his mute favorite attended.
The much-loved remains of her mas'er defended,
And chased the hill-fox aud the raven away.
How long didst thou think that his silence was slumber?
When the wind waved his garment how oft didst thou start?
How many long days and long weeks didst thou number,
Ere he faded before thee, the friend of thy heart?
And, oh! was it meet, that- no requiem read o'er him,
No mother to weep, and no friend to deplore him,
And thou, little guardian, alone streteh'd before him?
Unhonor'd the pilgrim from life should depart?
When a prince to the fate of the peasant has yielded,
The tapestry waves dark round the dim-lighted hall;
With scutcheons of silver the collln is shielded,
And pages stand mute by the canopied pall:
Through the courts, at deep midnight, the torches are gleaming,
In the proudly-areh'd chapel the banners are beaming,
Fur adown the long aisle sacred music is streaming,
Lamenting a chief of the people should fall.
But nieeter for thee, gentle lover of nature,
To lay down thy head like the meek mountain lamb;
When, Wildor'd he drops from some cliff huge in stature,
And draws his last sob by the side of ids dam.
And more stately thy couch by this desert lake lying,
Thy obsequies sung by tho gray plover flying,
With one faithful friend to witness thy dying,
In the arms of Hellvellyn and Catchcdlcain.

WHY RENT?
When you can [own your own home
with tho samo moneyV
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company will enable you to do
this.
Instead of Paying Kent for yoirs
and owning nothing at thu end of tho
term tho property Is yours,
Meanwhile, you have had the homo
(rom the first?with tho motive to im
prove it.
Owning one's homo does more to
make an independent man than any
thing else.
A man with little or no property finds
it hard to borrow and build.
Such men this company provides
crodit for.
There aro hundreds of working
men in this town paying rent on
houses that arc not cosy and comforts*
ble, they havo no conveniences, that
are not kept up and that are not im
proving in value
Lot* in Laurens are cheap. Thfso
samo men, vt ith tho rout money the)
aro paying, can all own homes I-i
which they will tuko pride and which
will grow more valuable each year.
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company is not a building ami
loan association. Why? Because tho
contract is certain and definite. The
borrower knows to a day when his
dobt will bo due. Moreover the rate of
interest is lower.
